About

As the city burns and the countryside is engulfed by the epidemic, the living are increasingly alone and forced to live with this new reality. Monstrous beasts and disfigured remnants roam freely with their numbers increasing rapidly, slaughtering everything in their path. In the opening chapter, Lydia finds herself separated from her fellow survivors and all alone. After fleeing into a large manor estate to escape the relentless horde, her only goal now is survival. She must explore the manor, locate supplies and find a way to wake from this nightmare. But somehow... she knows her fate is already sealed.

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is an episodic unforgiving survival horror experience that takes place within the Outbreak universe. Death lurks behind each door as you fight to survive with the limited supplies at your disposal. Search rooms thoroughly and make the right choice when to fight - or flee - from the monstrosities. Featuring classic hardcore survival horror gameplay in a directed single-player experience, you'll need to stay on your toes to stay alive. You have a limited inventory and you'll need to leverage supply caches to store your equipment for use later. Saving your game is also highly restrictive and you'll need to locate the means to record your progress as you explore. Lydia's adventure is just the beginning... can you survive the chronicles and determine the fate of the other survivors?

Translated by
Microsoft from Russian
Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles-Resident Evil, are you this? The game Itself is the third part of the horror series from American Developers "Dead Drop Studios LLC". It is Noteworthy that each game has its own style and gameplay, the first game of the series "Outbreak" and does visually resemble the famous series "Hotline Miami". The Second part of "Outbreak: The New Nightmare" is imprisoned under the Co-op. And the hero of our review, this is the classic Resident Evil, and exactly the first parts of the series. It is Also worth highlighting that the game is distributed not only on Steam, but on the Xbox One game console. On the classics of the genre of old games of the series "Resident Evil". Taking control of the girl Lydia, you have to explore a dark estate, filled with the undead, ready to kill you at any time. You have to protect your resources, and depending on the situation, understand what you need at the moment, as to carry out everything is not going to work, the inventory is quite small. Solve puzzles, search for clues, thoroughly exploring all the rooms and surroundings. And also to understand when it is better to fight with terrifying enemies, and when to run by, because each meeting can be fatal. Behind each door you will expect horror, which you have to overcome in one way or another. According to the story, the world was engulfed by an epidemic. The City is burning, and the countryside is covered with contagion, which turns people into something not human, something terrible. And This awful moves freely everywhere, and their number grows, they leave nothing alive in their way. Our protagonist Lydia turns out to be separated from the surviving friends. Now She has only one goal-to survive. It has a rather pleasant schedule, the atmosphere is very gloomy and depressing. Also the game can not be called easy, it is quite complicated. At The maximum level of difficulty and at all one blow in you bears lethal outcome. Save is also limited, for this you have to search for diskettes scattered in locations. As mentioned above, there will be a thorough inspection of locations to find supplies, which are also limited. There Are two modes in the game. Plot and Battle mode, in which you have to do everything possible and get to the exit, bypassing the crowds of the undead in one way or another. Also highlight that the game is episodic and buying the basic game, you will have access to the first episode and the Battle mode. The Rest is to be purchased as you exit, naturally if desired, or by buying a Season Pass at which you get access to all the currently released and upcoming DLC. This is a great horror for survival, which will be the liking of all fans of the genre, and especially fans of the famous series Resident Evil.
